There were only 9 Heroes on parade for the last clean of the year. There was not a lot of rubbish around, and the only managed to collect 3Kg. However, that is still 3Kg less trash on an already clean beach. It is still a good effort - well done guys.

The Heroes will meet again this week on Sunday 7th January at 4pm. This week's venue is at the end of Huadon Soi 9 (towards the Pattaya Ferry Terminal). The South Takiab Beach is the target for cleaning. All welcome.

But, what happens to all this trash once it is collected? Does it end up in a land fill, suitable bits recycled, or handed over to the department that should be collecting it in the first place? Is there any central recycling facility that takes it and sorts it out?

May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil know`s you`re dead!
